I've not been tested for celiac or coeliac (spelling?) disease, though I suspect I may have the condition.

I bet that peanut-allergic kid's going to be REAL popular.

Yes I am aware of all the names that MSG is called. The most powerful are Disodium guaynalate and disodium insonate (probably misspelled). I try to avoid all of them by cooking vegetables and meat simply and ordering the same when I eat out. But I seem to have most of my problems with the ones labeled MSG and DG and DI.
I have read estimates that 30% of the population is allergic to MSG but many only slightly and most have no idea what has caused their problems.

I hadn't heard of those two yet. I learned something new. I had no idea it was close to one third, either. I thought it was a small fraction of that. Interesting. Good eatin', Ditter.

Back a few years ago when I started having reactions to MSG I bought a dictionary of food chemicals. I could look up everything that was listed on any food product and find out what it was and what it was used for. I think I loaned it out and forgot who I loaned it to, you know how that goes LOL. My copy would be out of date now after 15 years but I just avoid anything with additives that I don't recognize. Happy eating to you too.

In other words 1%. So potentially 00% of the kids could be eating in the peanut butter segregated area.I'm not sure I follow your math... < /wise guy >

I'm going to add those two to my list. I'll have to see if I can't find a dictionary of food chemicals at the library some time. Sounds like a good idea. As a rule of thumb I try to avoid eating anything which contains ingredients I can't pronounce, or whose ingredient list longer than one in length of text. This leaves out a lot of stuff. :)

>>I do have celiac sprue, an autoimmune disease that keeps me from eating wheat, rye or barley.
Oh my! I can't imagine a world without bread, beer, or pizza.
My allergies are pretty tame in comparison, though Aleve (naproxen) would probably kill me.
